Tracy and Yao will bounce back and carry us. Great game for both

Will Boby play? He is a great guy, really. I love his game but I will miss Bonzi. I love him also, even more

They've been playing much better recently, just weren't able to close out the game and at times that's our problem as well. Need to come out with intensity on both ends of the floor and execute/knock down shots from the perimeter. We are at home and need to take care of business. Game we have to win, can't afford to lose and fall out of the playoffs again.

The Heat are reportedly shopping Marion. Hopefully he is traded, because he can obviously cause of some problems tonight.

last time we traded away Jim Jackson and Boki Nachbar
our team played so bad the next game
i hope our team don't really miss Wells and James
we better not losing to the worst team in the league (again)

Was that when Milwaukee crushed us by like 30?

No wonder T-Mac said he sucks. He's been hitting the club with that ****** Diddy.

We'd better win this game. Nothing more really needs to be said.

Must win. 9 game win streak is nice. 10 game win streak is something to talk about. Just something about double digits. My only concern is us not taking the worst team in the league seriously and overlooking em for our matchup tomorrow night with the Hornets. If we come out focused we'll win this game without an issue. I dunno how the Bonzi trade will effect us tonight. I expect some effect since it was just made. Heat searching for their first win in a long time. We simply have to be focused from the start. There is no reason we should lose. Wade will try to score 40...refs will probably help him but as long as we don't turn it over and play well offensively we'll be fine.

We have to exploit the matchups. Yao will absolutely own the **** out Mark Blount. We must feed the Yaoza.

my sentiments exactly....

need to out rebound, guard the perimeter, and win! should be an easy game......need to be rested for tomorrow.

Will Bobby Jackson play today? Green?

I'd doubt it, but that'd be nice.

nope
there's 48 hours wait
remember Sheed was bench in the 2nd half for his Detroit debut?
he hasn't pass the 48 hours period yet

LOL the PTI guys talked about this game. Wilbon is like there is a 0% chance the Heat win. Tony said this is the type of game the Heat will win but you won't pick em to win. I kinda agree with Tony. 9 game losing streak for them...9 game winning streak for us. Seems to good to be true. Even bad teams can have great nights.
